STOP Symptoms of Sinusitis

Sinusitis symptoms are different from those of a common cold. While cold symptoms generally improve within 3-5 days, sinusitis persists for over 10 days without showing signs of improvement. Other symptoms you might experience include:

  • Facial pain with or without pressure around the eyes, nose, jaw and teeth
  • General fatigue caused by nighttime congestion and pain impacting sleep quality
  • Low grade fever
  • Continual stuffy nose from swollen nasal passages, leading to breathing issues and nasal obstruction
  • Blocked nasal passages
  • Diminished sense of smell and taste
  • Headaches
  • Postnasal drip (meaning mucus trickling down the back of the nose into the throat)
  • Nasal discharge (meaning green/yellow/cloudy mucus draining from the nose)

Getting an accurate diagnosis of sinusitis from a skilled ENT specialist is crucial. At Capo Nose & Sinus Center, our dedicated team of professionals is here to help you resolve your sinus issues and find lasting relief.

STOP Sinusitis and Regain Control of Your Health

Patients with sinusitis can explore a variety of treatment options with Dr. Capo, from over-the-counter remedies to surgical interventions.

  • Medications: Based on the severity and duration of your symptoms, our doctor may suggest various medications to ease your discomfort. These options could include prescriptions, over-the-counter remedies, or home-based treatments.

o Decongestants: These are used to reduce the swelling of the sinus lining.

o Nasal and systemic steroids: Chronic inflammation can be reduced with these treatment solutions.

  • Balloon Sinuplasty: Balloon sinuplasty, or balloon sinus dilation, is a minimally invasive procedure performed in the comfort of our office. It aims to address drainage problems and enhance nasal anatomy via a small balloon that gently enlarges your natural sinus openings. Balloon sinuplasty is a patient-friendly alternative to surgery.

o STOP sinusitis with one single procedure.

o The intervention lasts about an hour at our office.

o It boasts quick recovery times and remarkable results.

  • Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): For some patients, traditional sinus surgery (FESS) might be the best course of action. The goal is to improve sinus drainage by enhancing mucus flow from the natural sinus openings by optimizing the nasal anatomy. Balloon sinuplasty can be used in conjunction with a FESS procedure.
